Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Soon, the two parted ways.

When she got back, Charlene was still feeling a little down.

Shino keenly noticed her unusual behavior, slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned around, and gently asked, "What's wrong? Are you still scared?"

His voice carried a hint of worry as his gaze fell on her slightly pale face.

Charlene shook her head, forcing a smile, and said, "No, I just don't understand."

She sighed softly, her eyes revealing confusion and helplessness. "It was clearly Lee Ji-eun who schemed against others in the beginning, and what she suffered later was all self-inflicted. How can she still be so persistent and malicious?"

I really can't understand why some people, even when they're wrong, refuse to let go.

Charlene was still terrified when she thought about what happened tonight.

If Shi Yang hadn't reacted quickly and taken swift action, something terrible might have happened if she had acted on her own.

They might even find themselves in an even more dangerous situation.

Not to mention, the bodyguards were also with Shi Yang.

But if Shi Yang hadn't been there, she really didn't know what would have become of her.

Given the extent of the other party's hatred, the outcome is unlikely to be good; at best, one will be humiliated, and at worst, one may be left with permanent trauma.

Charlene shuddered and her body tensed involuntarily when she recalled Lee Ji-eun's hateful eyes and crazy actions.

Seeing this, Shi Ye pulled the person into his arms, gently stroking their back, and whispered to comfort them, "This is not your fault, it is all Lee Ji-eun's fault."

She was wicked and malicious, harboring evil intentions from the very beginning of their acquaintance, and plotting against him at every turn.

Besides, life is unpredictable, and no one can foresee what unexpected things might happen when they go out.

But please believe me, I promise that what happened tonight will never happen again.

Since it is a man-made conspiracy, then we should completely eliminate this root of the problem.

Since Lee Ji-eun is unwilling to keep a low profile and insists on stirring up trouble, then she shouldn't bother being a decent human being.

It's just a matter of annihilation; it's not like we can't do that here.

Since she's so eager to die, let her have her way and reap what she sows.

Charlene gently rested her head on his broad shoulder, her cheek pressed against the cool fabric of his shirt, where she could clearly feel his warm body temperature and steady heartbeat beneath the fabric.

He had a faint scent of cedar mixed with a subtle hint of tobacco, which relaxed her tense nerves.

She closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

The fear I felt earlier seemed to be gradually soothed by his presence.

There was a moment of silence.

She spoke softly, her voice still slightly hoarse, "Will this be very troublesome to handle?"

She didn't look up, remaining leaning against him as if this gesture gave her the courage to continue asking questions.

Shi Ye unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair that fell over her shoulder with his fingers, answering crisply, even with a touch of lazy certainty, "No trouble at all, what's the trouble?"

He paused, seemingly to reassure her, and then continued, "Have you forgotten how troublesome Zhou Si's matter was before?"

Shi Yang was taken away from the venue by that group of people. At that time, a lot of special police and bomb disposal experts were deployed.

Compared to tonight, this is nothing.

He turned his head to the side, his chin almost brushing against her bangs, his voice becoming softer, yet each word clear and reassuring.

"So don't worry. It will be resolved soon."

Seeing his serious expression and the complete absence of a joke in his tone, Charlene's doubts dissipated considerably.

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes.

After hesitating for a moment, she softly hummed in agreement, as if she had let go of some burden.

She buried her face in his chest, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Actually... I'm really okay."

After saying that, as if to prove herself, she gently rubbed her forehead against his chest.

Seeing how obedient she was, Shi Ye felt a pang of tenderness in his heart.

He raised his hand and stroked her hair, his voice deeper than before, "Yes, it's good that you're alright."

After a brief pause, he changed his tone slightly, with a hint of helplessness and sarcasm, and continued, "But I have something to do."

Charlene looked up at him, her eyes still a little moist, but they shone brightly. "What's wrong?"

Shi Ye smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "I was also shocked when I heard about what happened to you tonight."

He watched her reaction and slowly said, "Shouldn't you... comfort me too?"

Charlene was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to say that.

She looked into his deep eyes, where the tension and worry that had not completely dissipated remained.

A warmth filled her heart, and her voice softened, "Then... how do you plan to comfort me?"

After saying that, as if she had thought of something, she awkwardly but sincerely opened her arms and asked softly, "Or... should I hug you too?"

Shi Ye looked at her reaching out her hand and finally chuckled softly, his eyes and brows filled with a bright tenderness.

He shook his head, lowering his voice even further, "No need."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently cupped her face, his thumb stroking her cheek. His gaze fell on her lips, and he whispered, "This is fine."

Then, he leaned down and kissed her.

Charlene paused, wrapped her arms around his neck, and obediently cooperated with his movements, accepting a passionate and lingering kiss.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, and their breathing gradually quickened.

Although we've only been together for a few days, each kiss seems to have developed a certain tacit understanding, becoming more skillful and deeper with each encounter.

The space inside the carriage was already cramped, and the air seemed to become thick and warm as a result.

As they kissed, their passion escalated.

With their bodies pressed close together, Charlene could feel the rise and fall of his chest and its warmth, and she couldn't help but feel hot herself.

Moreover, as a normal man, how could he not feel anything when he's intimate with his girlfriend?

Even the usually cold-blooded Shi Ye had a rare glint of desire in his eyes.

Charlene's heart was pounding.

She could hear her own breathing, mixed with the faint sound of traffic outside the window.

Suddenly, she realized she was on the street.

Although the car windows were closed, there was still a sense of unease about being exposed.

She quickly spoke, her voice slightly breathless and trembling, "It's...it's time to go back."

She gently nudged his shoulder, her eyes a mixture of longing and rationality, afraid that things would get out of control if she continued.

Shi Ye breathed a sigh of relief, his voice hoarse, and replied, "Okay."

He then started the car and drove the person back to school.

Upon arrival, the two sides said their goodbyes.

Charlene entered the campus and disappeared through the gate.

Shino then turned the car around and went back.

……

Early the next morning.

Shi Ye had just gotten up and was still sleepy when his phone rang urgently. It was Zhou Si calling.

"An investigation has confirmed that the group of people last night were indeed related to Lee Ji-eun."

The man Lee Ji-eun hooked up with was named Gail, a local figure in the underworld of Country Y. He was a nouveau riche who rose to prominence quickly through shady businesses.

Today, although they are financially powerful, their business dealings are somewhat tainted by the shady dealings, making them far from respectable figures.

After listening, Shi Ye frowned slightly and asked directly, "Is it easy to solve?"
